Ooh, I like This Modular Rack...

[vurt]

thinking about it though, even if possible...
to move through the sequence, would require a clock source, or you'd be step inputting.
with a clock source, you only have the note currently playing, available to edit the pitch.

there is no way i can think of off the top of my head you'd be able to edit notes off step. so would always get the knob movement too.

can't promise ill get it done tonight, feeling a bit wiped out after a stomach bug yesterday
feel better but so tired

GI issues are the worst. Glad you're feeling better

thanks, me too!

ill be fine, rosie handled it
good night's rest tonight not getting up every 30 mins should do it

[Stefken]

Take care Vurt.

There is absolutely no rush.

[vurt]

thanks


maybe one of other owners will chime in before i get to it.

While we are on sequencers just a shout out for the Korg SQ 64 which I am having great fun using with the B.2600. Small footprint is the major plus for me. Work flow is much improved since the last firmware update. 3 polyphonic tracks and a drum track. Loads of CV outputs. Can be had for 200 ish or even cheaper for a refurbished unit.

They have so many more uses than just sequencing notes. Any place where you need a voltage or gate being sequentially generated they are useful. In fact, you can use them as a manually switched voltage source where enabling any step will now output three different voltages from the previously enabled step.

Makes sense. The SQ 64 has been great for note sequences but I have struggled a bit using it as a modulator. It has a mod track which outputs values from up to 127 (on the display anyway) which I assume is targeted at midi velocity. The pitch track of course will be quantised.
Also it seems like it will only output pitch or mod on a step when a gate is set on that step which makes sense for its intended use but has hindered when I have tried to be clever with the pitch, mod and gate outputs for separate modulation duties.

Still it sits very nicely in front of the B.2600 and I have been having fun sequencing the three oscillators separately with its three melodic tracks.

Who needs a sequencer when mushrooms can do it for you?

Anyone see any problems with organizing the rack this way?

• Row 1: VCOs

• Row 2: Filters & Envelopes

• Row 3: Utilities?

• Row 4: Fx

Couple notes:

• I’m planning ahead here. I still don’t know when the 2nd RackBrute will ship

• I’m still not certain I’ll place the power module somewhere else (or really, which method I like best for freeing up that awkward 5hp). So I’m keeping on the mockup for now.

The following I’ll need to buy when I find a good deal:

• Make Noise Echophon

• Make Noise Erbe-verb

• Make Noise Wogglebug

• EDIT: (not pictured) Make Noise XPan

• SSF Steady State Gate

What’s missing?

• I’m short on LFOs I think.

• Anything else?

Sequencers is where it gets really overwhelming for someone who is just starting out.
I am looking at the pages on Perfect Circuit...EXPENSIVE! or OUT OF STOCK
Already mentioned I wanted to copy Mylar melodies and get a Turing machine, but of course I will need a more traditional type of sequencer. God knows - this is why I don't even want to start!

whyterabbyt said something that I definitely agree with and that’s that the perfect sequencer is the one in your DAW.

I would still focus on the Turing Machine (something I’ve been drooling over again recently).

Just make sure you have something to sequence from the computer… I find PNW with the mmMidi works great for me, but there’s lots of ways to do this.

After that, I do have 0-Ctrl, East Beast, West Pest and Korg SQ-64.

I don't understand this.
I will be sequencing my Swarm + drum modules/samples. The Civilization looks interesting to play something into the rack, but I know it's not what I really need for a main seq.

It just depends on what you want from sequencing... They're all just different options that can also work. I don't know if this is what you want but this is how I use things.

When I want something less predictable, I'll use 0-Ctrl. I could tune each note event, but I often like the micro tuning result by not doing this.

When I want predictable, where I only need to tune the VCO, I'll send Midi from my DAW to mmMidi and just use V/Oct and Gate for triggering notes.

There's even an expander, ALM's mmT that's used specifically for just triggering drums.

If it's used with Pamela's New (or Pro) Workout, you can send out clock that syncs with your DAW for recording.

Anyone see any problems with organizing the rack this way?

Your bottom row looks a lot like my FX rack...


I tend to organize modules with signal flow as the primary consideration. Cables are going to get pretty dense in the middle rows, so you might also consider moving modules that you tweak a lot to the outer edges or top/bottom rows.

I had a 6u Rack Brute for a while and I liked it a lot. It felt really sturdy and I like the stand thing a lot. I used it with a MiniBrite 2. I seem to remember that the top row had much less clearance than the bottom because of the placement of the bus board, so if you have any deep modules you may not have many options for where they go.

Excellent points and I think you've helped me consider the alternate option of using the 2 RackBrutes side by side, just in case I don't have enough desk space (depending which desk I'm working from).

If they end up side-by-side, It'd likely make more sense to essentially have an effects box too, so all those filters would get moved above the effect modules. I can keep the utilities and envelopes just below the VCOs.

Looks like CVilization will need to be placed along the sides then.

For your, for lack of a better phrase, "song sequencing," yes, or whatever dawless box you like to use. For a lot of live stuff, or even pseudo-live, e.g., that's just how I want to jam, this can be a distraction. I really enjoy setting up structures that lie between generative and sequenced. I think that here, just one sequencer isn't all that useful. If you are just replacing your "song sequencer" then just use your song sequencer. On the other hand, a collection of sequence and pulse generating tools can be used to build up a track live. This is why I like having multiple sequential switches, simple sequencers, tools like PAM's etc.
